Costuma-se localizar a origem de muitos movimentos sociais contemporâneos no final dos anos 60. Naqueles anos, no Ocidente mais urbanizado e mais midiaticamente conectado, a cultura invade a política, levando para esse território questões de gênero, sexo, de liberdades individuais, ambientais e de raça, entre outras. Questões que não se resovem sem uma atitude que vá alem da luta de classes e das questões econômicas. Na primeira metade dos anos 70, assiste-se na Bahia, com o surgimento do Ilê Aiyê, ao nascimento de uma ação anti-racista marcada por identidades construídas com base em princípios e valores postos em evidência a partir da contracultura e inspirados, sobretudo, pela noção norte-americana do black is beautiful e do Black Power, embalados pelo soul music e dentro do espírito libertário daqueles anos. Os jovens que levaram o Ilê para a rua - em plena época da ditadura militar brasileira - ressignificaram a negritude contemporânea em Salvador e seu Recôncavo, e atigiram uma base central do recismo: desmontaram, como nunca, o conceito eurocêntrico de beleza. Este foi o grande diferencial do Ilê Aiyê no compo da política. A nova estética, proposta por ele, atinge frontalmente os fundamentos do racismo institucionalizado, atributo culturalmente construído e também internalizado pelo negromestiço. Sua eficácia está no foco: o Ilê atua sobre o campo da negociação simbólica, onde os valores são sedimentados e onde se determina o lugar que ocupamos no mundo. Para entender-se melhor esta questão, alem dos estudos multidisciplinares que o assunto exige, buscou-se reconstruir um pouco da trama sociocultural e do contexto em que se enredavam os atores do processo antes deles colocarem, literalmente, o bloco na rua. / Salvador

As relações raciais na parede: sentir – pensar a geografia pela fotografia

Cardoso, Wagner Innocencio January 2016 (has links)
A presente pesquisa buscou compreender como o ensino de Geografia e a Fotografia interagiram na formação de jovens, do Ensino Médio, em uma construção coletiva de reforço de cidadania, com foco na luta contra o preconceito racial. Centramo-nos nas Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para a educação das relações raciais e a Lei 10.639. O marco teórico desta investigação encontra aporte nos seguintes autores: Boris Kossoy, Vilém Flusser, Antonio Sérgio Alfredo Guimarães e Renato Emerson dos Santos. Os conceitos utilizados são fotografia, cidadania, ensino de geografia e raça. O principal objetivo é evidenciar e compreender de que maneira as relações entre vivências diárias e falas recorrentes, na nossa sociedade, estão relacionadas a casos de racismo do dia a dia. As experiências foram traduzidas a partir de provocações relacionadas à prática de ensino que se transformou em relatos, rodas de conversas, fotografias, oficinas sobre os grandes nomes da fotografia e suas intencionalidades ao fotografar. Essa serie de possibilidades e enfoques acabou por ser materializada em uma exposição de fotos dos educandos dentro e fora do Instituto de Educação. Os procedimentos metodológicos foram: revisão bibliográfica, pesquisa junto aos estudantes, rodas de conversa, trabalho coletivo, ação efetiva, exposição de resultados com imagens, questionário com os envolvidos e análise das respostas que nos permitem avançar na proposta de cidadania construída dentro da escola pelos estudantes com os professores. / This research sought to understand how the teaching of Geography and Photography interacted in the formation of young people, high school, in a collective construction of citizenship reinforcement, focusing on the fight against racial prejudice. We focus on the National Guidelines for the education of race relations and the Law 10.639. The theoretical framework of this research is input the following authors: Boris Kossoy, Flusser, Antonio Sérgio Alfredo Guimarães and Emerson Renato dos Santos. The concepts used are photography, citizenship, geography education and race. The main objective is to highlight and understand how the relationship between daily experiences and recurring lines in our society, are related to cases of racism every day. Experiments were translated from provocations related to teaching practice that turned into stories, wheels conversations, photographs, workshops on the big picture names and their intentions when shooting. This series of possibilities and approaches turned out to be materialized in a photo exhibition of the students inside and outside the Institute of Education. The methodological procedures were: literature review, survey of students, conversation circles, collective work, effective action, display image results, questionnaire with stakeholders and analysis of the responses that allow us to advance the proposed citizens built within the school by students with teachers.

In this way, according to Discourse Analysis, data analysis method used, and the reflections upon the methodological and theoretical approach of the subaltern studies, particularly the postcolonial studies, I seek to analyze in this reseach the process of construction of this anti-racism legislation/ anti-racial discrimination legislation/anti- discrimination legislation. The specific objectives of the research were, therefore, to analyse: a) which discourses were raised in the normative and juridical field about the racial and ethnic issue making possible the construction of anti-racism legislation from 1950 on; b) which events and debates, ocurred between 1940 and 1988, were outlining the three dimensions of the anti-racism legislation presentin the brazilian legal order, and, finally, c) the importance of Black Movement in this process. The disputes of the normative and juridical field to the construction of the anti- racism legislation and to the deconstruction (still unfinished) of the racial and ethnic relations in Brazil, underlined, on one hand, by an institucional racism and, on the other, by the myth of a racial democracy, represented, at the same time: the problem of brazilian law limits in relation to the racial and ethnic issue, ressignifying, therefore, the own notion of State and brazilian nation; and, a political process in which blacks, being political subjetcs/actors, became subjetcs of rigths, a denied status by brazilian law, during the colonization process and slavery, that marked our history until the 19th century, and still in dispute in the contemporary brazilian society. / Entre as estratégias de luta do movimento social negro, que ao longo do século XX, por meio de diversas mobilizações e ações, vem se caracterizando pelo dinamismo e elaboração, em cada momento histórico, de diferentes estratégias de combate ao racismo, ao preconceito racial e à discriminação racial, estacam-se as disputas no campo jurídico-normativo brasileiro para a construção de uma legislação antirracismo, ou seja, um conjunto de normas que tem como objetivo a desconstrução do racismo, do preconceito e da discriminação racial que atravessam as instituições políticas e sociais brasileiras e as subjetividades dos sujeitos. Assim, por meio das reflexões do referencial teórico-metodológico dos estudos subalternos, e, em especial, dos estudos pós-coloniais busco, nesta pesquisa, analisar o processo de construção dessa legislação antirracismo. Os objetivos específicos da pesquisa foram, portanto, analisar: a) quais discursos foram mobilizados no campo jurídico-normativo acerca da temática étnico-racial possibilitando a construção da legislação antirracismo, a partir de 1950; b) quais eventos e debates, ocorridos nos períodos de 1940 a 1988, foram delineando as três dimensões da legislação antirracismo presentes no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, e, por fim, c) a importância do movimento negro neste processo. As disputas do campo jurídico-normativo para a construção da legislação antirracismo e para desconstrução (ainda inacabada) das relações étnico-raciais brasileiras, marcadas, de um lado, por um racismo institucional, e de outro, pelo mito de uma democracia racial, representaram ao mesmo tempo: a problematização dos limites do direito brasileiro no que concerne a questão étnico-racial, ressignificando, portanto, a própria noção de Estado e de nação brasileira; e, um processo político em que os(as) negros(as), ao constituírem-se enquanto sujeitos políticos, tornaram-se sujeitos de direitos, status negado pelo direito brasileiro, ao longo do processo de colonização e escravidão, que marcaram nossa história até o século XIX, e ainda em disputa na sociedade brasileira contemporânea.

"The Trouble with White Fragility: Towards a Class Analysis of Resistance to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Work by Administrators”

Simmons, Cedrick-Michael January 2023 (has links)
Thesis advisor: Shawn McGuffey / Thesis advisor: Zine Magubane / In this dissertation, I show how the racial conflict theory promoted in the book White Fragility isn’t the only useful perspective to explain negative responses to the training and other activities by DEI administrators. Specifically, I argue a class analysis can illuminate the antagonistic relationship between DEI administrators and other stakeholders. Since DEI professionals are an extension of the management class, which is responsible for regulating the behavior of students and employees on behalf of employers in educational institutions, it is predictable that some students and employees will respond with silence, anger, and disengagement. If it is true that these negative responses cannot be reduced to White Fragility, then DEI professionals need to appeal to the interests of their audience and clearly show how their activities can actually be beneficial for students and employees despite the fact that they are extension of management. This dissertation includes three of my articles on administrators in higher education that helped me to develop the aforementioned argument. The first article argues that we should expect race-conscious student services administrators to experience role conflict when students complain about the ways that the executive-level administrators contribute to the reproduction of racial inequality. I contend that role conflict arises because student-centered administrators have to navigate the contradictory expectation of being an advocate for students with grievances about the institution while helping the executive-level administrators improve the reputation and revenue-stream for the university. Therefore, students cannot always expect student-centered administrators to effectively highlight and address their grievances. The second article argues that students who complain about inequity on campus should expect student-centered administrators to respond with self-help coaching. I use the term self-help coaching to capture the process when administrators teach complainants how to highlight and remedy organizational problems themselves. The third article focuses on the ways that student equity administrators (i.e. specialists who work in offices focused on diversity, equity, inclusion, and multicultural affairs) frame their work as beneficial for students. Specifically, I describe three types of frames: expert accountability, affirmation, and advocacy. In the conclusion, I show how DEI professionals can use this information to appeal to the interests of students and employees who recognize their antagonistic relationship with management. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2023. / Submitted to: Boston College.

THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN RACE, CLINICAL RESEARCH, AND MEDICAL EDUCATION WITH EXAMPLES ON STRATEGIES AND POLICES TO UNDERSTAND, IDENTIFY, AND MITIGATE THE EFFECTS OF RACE-BASED MEDICINE / RACISM IN MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS

Akpunonu, Chinaemelum Chidinma January 2022 (has links)
Race-based medicine is the belief that people of different races have different biological characteristics that affect the diseases they are prone to, and the types of treatments and procedures that should be used. This belief is reflected in medical education, clinical practice, and research. Race-based medicine was born from slavery. Notions of biological difference between races were used to justify slavery, and the structural racism that was a product of the slavery era gave rise to race-based medicine. Despite the common belief that medicine is evidence-based and objective, science and medicine reflect society, and thus are also flawed and biased. Medicine and medical education cannot be separated from the views of the dominant culture. The belief of today dictates the lens through which physicians and researchers look at patients, procedures, and treatments. Despite more and more evidence that there is no biological basis to our social construction of race, race-based medicine is still being taught in medical schools. Medical vignettes and the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) display questions that encourage the normalcy of whiteness, reinforce stereotypes, and emphasize that diseases are race-specific. Race-based medicine is dangerous; not only is the concept unscientific and based in, the belief is also a source of trauma for minority students and residents. How does one cope with the daily assault of information that your race is a risk factor for many diseases, a justification for treating you differently, or that your fellow physicians are being trained to believe that the amount of melanin in your skin is enough information upon which to base assumptions? Instead of desperately searching for innate racial differences, society needs to change their focus to social determinants of health. We are chasing the rabbit hole of biological racial differences, but ignoring social determinants and structural racism, which distracts us from achieving health equity. / Urban Bioethics

Entanglements: An abolitionist and arts-informed curricular analysis of school-based antiracist professional development

Emerson, Abby January 2023 (has links)
Antiracist teacher education in the United States has largely been situated within university-based teacher education programs over the last thirty years. This body of research documents the struggles and possibilities of preparing race-conscious educators who engage in antiracist practices that support diverse student populations. Despite this body of scholarship, there has been limited research in this area with school-based teacher education through inservice professional development (PD). Yet, there has also been an increase in antiracist and race-forward PD for teachers in schools in recent years. In turn, this study analyzes the curriculum of antiracist PD in New York City schools over the last ten years (2012-2022), seeking to understand the possibilities and tensions. Using qualitative and visual arts-based educational research methods, I interviewed 28 teachers, school leaders, and PD facilitators. In doing so, I found that the PD curricula across NYC schools largely made room for (a) building educators’ knowledge of structural racism, (b) individual reflection, and (c) changing the student-facing curriculum to be antiracist. However, there were two tangles, or complicated points of tension and contradiction. The first tangle was most visible when one looked at educators’ relationships, especially given the dominance of the carceral paradigm in schools. The second tangle highlights the tension between individual teachers and school institutions, wondering who is responsible for enacting antiracism in schools. I ultimately contend that it is not just antiracist PD that is needed in schools, but abolitionist PD.

The culpability of comfort: a practical theology of white resistance to critical anti-racist pedagogy

Hauge, Daniel James 31 August 2021 (has links)
This dissertation develops a liberationist practical theology of white emotioned resistance to critical anti-racist education. Its central argument is that white resistant discourse and emotional reactions in response to anti-racist pedagogy reflect the influence of social location on white people's psychological development, which forms comfortable intuitive attachments to the white hegemonic social milieu. These attachments constitute psychic incentives to preserve that milieu, which operate alongside conscious anti-racist commitments, resulting in disorientation and distress when the contradictions between those motivations are exposed in anti-racist classroom settings. This psychodynamic analysis serves as the basis for examining the theological implications of white resistance and, by extension, white social formation, which devalues mutual encounter across difference and constrains white people's ability to conceptualize shared culpability in generating oppressive social norms. This dissertation employs an interdisciplinary method that integrates theories of social practice, critical whiteness theory, and developmental psychology. The first chapter examines the relationship of habitual practices to structures of oppression, drawing upon Sally Haslanger’s theory of practice and Pierre Bourdieu’s understanding of habitus. The second chapter reviews qualitative research conducted in the field of multicultural anti-racist education, which analyzes white resistant behaviors and discursive patterns in the classroom. The third chapter engages with critical whiteness scholars Barbara Applebaum, Jennifer Mueller, and Linda Martín-Alcoff, specifically as they theorize the nature of white resistance as a series of strategies to preserve moral identity and social power. The fourth chapter responds to these theories with a psychodynamic approach developed in conversation with Phillis Sheppard’s reformulation of Heinz Kohut’s self psychology. This analysis is followed in the fifth chapter by a theological interpretation of white resistance and the oppressive potential of social norms, drawing upon the work of Willie James Jennings, Katie Walker Grimes, and Mayra Rivera. The final chapter outlines pastoral and pedagogical concerns relevant to helping white people process the vulnerability inherent in having one’s sense of self implicated in structural oppression. Analyzing white resistance through a psychodynamic lens provides new directions for research within practical theology and critical whiteness studies on strategy and efficacy of anti-racist pedagogy.
